How To Install Munin Node
Munin is a system measuring tool which gives the user a wide range of graphs spanning hours, days, weeks and months. An example set of graphs is show here.
Munin is much loved in the SysAdmin community because of its flexibility and the way it can be extended by writing plugins for the monitored systems, and particularly because the plugins are very easy to write, with a community resource for sharing them.
Each system being monitored runs "munin node", a simple daemon that listens on TCP port 4949 for connections, and if one comes from a permitted host or network, presents different kinds of information to it as requested.
Installing it on Maemo is quite easy as it's architecture independent, being basically a perl process which invokes scripts. The only trick is knowing to bypass certain dependencies during installation, and a few tweaks in the configuration. The installation has to happen from the command line as root.
Installing On Diablo
Diablo is effectively a relatively dated release of arm debian linux, so you have to get the packages from a debian archive.
Login as root to a command shell and fetch the packages. You probably want to fetch them to your flash memory card rather than clutter up the system file space.
fetch the packages as follows
- cd /media/external/download
- wget
